Meet An ADI: Ged

PassMeFast is one of the top driving schools across the UK, offering a variety of tailored intensive courses to suit learners with any kind of experience. We wouldn’t be anywhere, however, without our fleet of talented ADIs. Helping hundreds of students across the UK get their driving licence, our ADIs are second to none. Fancy getting a behind-the-scenes look? We’ve put together yet another “Meet an ADI” post—giving you a closer look at our top ADIs.

This month, we’d like you to say a friendly “hello” to Ged—an ADI who’s been with PassMeFast since 2016…

A pupil who needed loads of support on his test and was given this by an extremely patient examiner. He repeated instructions many times especially on the independent drive. At the end of the test, the pass was confirmed and the examiner went on to explain the process for sending off his licence (as the address differed from what was on his licence). This then followed:

Examiner: “Now don’t forget, you need to send your licence off within 2 years of passing. If you don’t, you’ll need to do the whole thing all over again.”

Pupil: “And I get to see you again!”

Examiner: “Oh no! Because if I see your name, I’m resigning.”

Me: “Bet you could do with a brew after that…”

Examiner: “A brew! After that one, I’m going for a couple of Temazepam”.

It was all in good humour.

What’s the craziest pass celebration you’ve seen? A girl opened the door when she’d passed—I assume to start dancing around the car park. The examiner said, quite firmly, “Close that door, now!” You could have heard a pin drop—so funny!

What’s the most common thing people fail on? Insufficient mirrors and blindspot checks.

What’s the best piece of advice you’d give to new drivers? Don’t let other people’s driving affect you. Don’t dwell on it—let it go.

When did you join PassMeFast? November 2016.

What do you do to relax? Cycle, walk and socialise. I’m also interested in quizzes and investing in the stock market.

Whether you’re a learner or a pro driver, Bethany is here to help. From defensive driving to the Highway Code, she’ll tell you everything you need know about driving. If she’s not on the road, you’ll probably find Bethany with her head in a book or binge-watching the latest TV show.
